Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Holy AFC star wheel batman!!!!

[FreeBMW]

I just turned the AFC wheel all the way out on my 96 3500 (see mods in sig) All I can say is OH MY GOSH! the truck is stupid quick to rev and it faster than anything that big should be. I cant belive I didnt do this 6 months ago!!! the low end response is 110% better and it black smokes like its a tire fire! I love my truck!!!





Oo.

When adjusting the star wheel for more fuel at low boost does the top of the wheel get turned towards the engine or away ?.





Thanks Kurt

Answers from TST web site

If vehicle is still slow to accelerate or has too much smoke, adjust the AFC setting as required . To adjust, remove the large plug on top of the AFC housing (see FIGURE 7) using an 8 mm allen wrench. Take care NOT to lose the sealing washer under the plug. Removing the plug exposes a star wheel which changes the quickness of fueling response to boost. If acceleration is weak with minimal smoke, rotate top of the star wheel toward the engine a few revolutions. If vehicle has heavy black smoke on initial acceleration, rotate top of star wheel away from engine a few revolutions. Reinstall large plug with sealing washer and test drive vehicle again. It may take repeated attempts to get this adjustment set. If heavy smoke is still encountered with star wheel moved completely to rear position, go back to step 26, loosen AFC housing and slide it rearward a 1/16 inch, retighten and test again. Repeat unit desired results occur.

With just a #10 full forward? Something sounds fishy! I'd give Peter a call.

Haven't adjusted mine yet, so can't comment on that. If you need to adjust your idle, go here- http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/adjustments/2nd_Gen-Idle.htm
